Day 2 - Prongsfoot Week 2023
What’s your favorite type of Prongsfoot Story?  And if you’ve written it - link it?
oooof okay. very very repetitive, perhaps even boring, answer.
1. outsider pov.
i know, i know, everyone is fed up of me saying the exact same thing every time but i just!!! can’t get over it!!! these two are so ripe for random people being baffled/awed/horrified by their relationship 😭 i love an outside-in perspective on how they are bc for them, everything is routine, it’s just how things are. it’s only when u pan the camera out that u realise no, they’re the exception not the norm.
i’ve written one—from remus’ pov. this one from lily’s pov kinda also counts. id put both of them in the qpp side of things tho tbh.
2. omegaverse
spicing it up a lil this time ;) even tho i’ve not read many, i’m just. a sucker for this universe and omega sirius with alpha james will have my heart always <3
3. genderbent j/s
id blame dani and our arranged marriage fic for this but to be fair, i’ve always loved genderbending. keeping true to the characters while making such a broad change is just. delicious. and i love it when m/f friendships r transgressive n u just know prongsfoot will be exactly that. there’s a fic (two?) where jamie and sirius r bestfs and they still sneak into each others dorms/beds and act basically the same and it’s the best. i love it.
4. james coming back to life
i’m very sure that every single person who has this in their answers today is in this position bc of em and their wonderful fic and i’m not an exception but gosh, what a top tier trope. james coming back, being all protective and righteous and ready to fight for sirius in a way no one has done before. it’s just. exquisite. the perfect mix of angst and maybe age gap and love.

part i, ii, iii
only one thing has ever mattered to you, in this lifetime, and in all others : mark lee — even if he doesn't know yet, and even if he may never remember.
pairing: mark x reader verse: canon/idol!verse, soulmates trope rating: T warnings: none, possibly some mild language, like... one very tame mention of making love ig word count: 4.3k
A/N: yeah i have a lot of these fics that i'm repurposing that i desperately want to post so i can continue them so please look the other way at my random over enthusiasm i beg !! my only long-standing mark fic is actually gorgeous, and while we do love a good raunchy piece, i love mark way too much to keep it to just that. this was my first ever fic on my old blog, and i'm quite attached to the idea despite the fact that it's actually very difficult for me to write. i changed the name because i actually love this song by maktub (anything he puts out is gold to me), which i think generally fits the vibe of the story, so give it a listen if you're interested! so i hope you all enjoy this idol!verse soulmates fic! (help a gal out by reblogging, liking, and leaving a few kind words if you're so inclined!)

“This isn’t really your best idea.” 
You know this. You’re fully aware of the possible and endless risks as well as the minimal benefits. But you have to go. The thing that Heehyeon, your roommate, doesn’t fully understand is that this could be your one and only shot, and it could mean life or death. And you know that sounds pretty dramatic, but it really is. you don’t really have all the details (when, where, how, the important stuff) but that doesn’t matter to you right now. 
What really matters is that today is NCT’s comeback stage at M! Countdown, and you have to be there. 
Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those things you have to go to because your a die-hard fan and you just have to support the group and do all those fan chants and lie to your mom about going to the library when you’re really staying over outside a company building for hours just to wave those silly, expensive light sticks that look like they came out of the factory a bit funny. Sure, NCT’s music was nice (enough), but that isn’t really the reason why you told your mom not to come over this weekend because you would be out on a company team building retreat (as if they actually do that). More than anything, you knew you had to take this chance to see him. 
When you don’t respond, Heehyeon presses on with a firmer tone, as if she’s determined to convince you even though you both know nothing is really going to stop you at this point.
“Listen to me, _____________. You are going to a tightly-packed music show with at least a hundred other fans, and you are going to stand in the middle of that dense crowd and — and what? Stare up at him. That’s it. He’s not going to see you; that stage is so high up he’ll probably only catch a look at your forehead, and that’s if you make it up front. And since we both know you’re neither the tallest nor the luckiest person in the world, you know the odds are against you. You’re probably going to get pushed to the back, or stampeded, and it’s going to be messy, and you’re going to push, and they’re going to push you back, and your make-up is going to fall apart, or whatever. Is this really worth it?”
“I told you,” you try to sound patient, but the idea of being buffeted away from the stage by a large wave of sweaty bodies causes more discomfort than you had originally anticipated thanks to her colorful and supremely unhelpful description. “If being near the stage doesn’t work out, I’ll wait out back, near the exit, and —“
“Oh yeah, and ambush him. Because you’ll be the only one there, and because that’s totally safe.” She drops the slightly (well, pretty) judgmental tone when she sees your bottom lip quiver. “I’m not… I’m not saying you shouldn’t try to reach out to him. But this doesn’t sound like the best way, _____________. Security is so tight there, and NCT’s security is even more wary. Even if you do manage to get close, what in the world are you going to say?” 
“I— I’ll figure it out once I’m there.” You purse your lips; surely I love you; we’re meant to be together wouldn’t be that hard on your end, but the more important question is: did it sound sane? You didn’t express this doubt, though. Doing so would give your roommate more ammunition to turn back at you; you’d play it by ear when you actually got around to making eye contact with him (if that ever happened at all). And — well, maybe you wouldn’t have to say anything. Maybe, just maybe, this time, he’d remember you.
At that thought, you feel an initial wave of laughter, closely followed by a second, much more painful wave of nausea. Of all the absurd things you could think of, that was probably the most ridiculous. 
“This isn’t a good idea,” she recapitulates, shaking her head. “You know what they do to people who stalk idols and say they’re really going to get married to them, or whatever. You know what they’d call you.”
“But I’m not crazy like that,” you argue.
“I know that, but they don’t know anything about you! You’d be labeled a sasaeng. They’ll probably think you’re one of those girls that sneak into their dorms and sniff their underwear before selling them on the dark side of Taobao through a weird Chinese proxy or something.”
“Well, what am I supposed to do?” You ball your fists at your side, feeling a little betrayed. Heehyeon, of all people, should be able to understand why you had to do this, even if it was ludicrous. She had remembered you, reached out to you before you could even place her. She’d heard your story, understood that you had been waiting years for this moment, even stopped you on other occasions when you were about to do the same thing you were planning now, saying it wasn’t the right time. “I don’t have any other way of contacting him. I don’t even know if this is going to work, but you know I have to try, and I feel like this is the right time. I have to see him. I have to — I have to be with him. I don’t need your blessing to go, you know.”
There’s a palpable tension hanging over you now, and Heehyeon’s expression has gone mostly unreadable, save for that twinge of worry still present in her gaze. The soft sound of regular, heavy exhales punctuate every few seconds that pass, and you realize a little later that it’s your breathing, which has turned a bit heavy from the energy spent sort-of yelling at your roommate. 
“I know that,” she finally sighs. “I know that, _____________. I just wish you used a different way. Like, a safer, less crazy one.”
“I would use one if there were one.” You frown. “I’m not going to do anything stupid, like attack him. I would never do that.”
She doesn’t say much anymore, opting to watch you instead as you stuff a few more essential things in your bag. A hat. A fan. a bottle of water. Heehyeon had tried to coerce you to buy one of those cheering kits with those slogans, but you didn’t want to waste your money on it, and, truthfully, you didn’t want his name hanging on your walls like some sick reminder in case he rejected you.
“What did you tell your manager?” She asks in a clear attempt to lighten the mood. 
“I told her I was sick. You know she never really asks as long as I find someone to substitute for me,” you sling your bag over your shoulder, standing straighter. “How do I look?” 
“Pretty damn healthy,” she notes. “But also kind of crazy.” 
“I’ll see you tonight, Heehyeon,” you roll your eyes as you make your way out of the room. Before you close the door, she makes one last quick remark.
“Not if I see you on the evening news first!”
Tumblr media
You have to take two buses to get to Sangamsan-ro. Even though the traffic is generally mild, the buses make too many stops and wait too long for old ladies with their fruit baskets and newspapers to get on. The wait is making you anxious, and you think about getting an orange to abate your growing hunger, but you’re also so nervous that you’re sure you’re going to spew it all out onto the bus floor anyway. So, you content yourself with listening to music and fiddling with your fingers in your lap. 
All you have in your phone is NCT’s music. The files were so large that you’d had to delete everything else you used to listen to and a handful of pictures too (mostly selfies that would have never seen the light of day, anyway) just to get them to fit. You used to only listen to the Korean versions, but you’d found all these little nuances in how Mark raps his lines depending on the language, so you’d started listening to the English and Japanese releases too, even though you can’t understand a lick of anything but ‘baby.’ Most of the time, you skip over to the relevant (see: Mark-filled) parts, already having memorized their timestamps to a kind of sick degree. 
It was kind of dumb, and sort of selfish, but you had never really identified yourself as an NCT fan anyway. If you had been an active part of the groups following, people would have probably called you an akgae. You were really only concerned with one member, and it was that member’s voice that filled your ears when you’d plugged your earbuds in and put the volume up.
The first time you’d seen him was in your last year of college. One of your college friends had asked you to accompany them to a Nature Republic outlet downtown. Despite your general lack of interest in make-up at that point in time, you’d gone because she’d promised to buy you a corndog. What you’d gotten instead was a large standee of a handsome guy smiling at you and holding out a pot of aloe vera gel. 
You knew his eyes. Even though his features changed a million times in your memory, you could never mistake his eyes for anyone else’s — soft, warm, brown eyes that you’d stared into for truly an eternity. His were eyes you could never forget, were never allowed to forget. You could remember the millions of times they’d smiled up at you in those past lives you were haunted with, twinkled with mischief and laughter in your presence, borne deep into yours on hot summer nights as you made love. Of all the uncertain things in all of the lives you remembered living, these eyes acted as your anchor. 
You’d almost forgotten you were there with a friend until she’d called out to you, telling you to step inside the shop. Trying to sound disinterested despite the fact that your heart was pounding, you asked who the guy in the standee was. Mark, she’d called him. Mark of NCT. He was an idol, a rapper in one of those up and coming groups that was starting to gain a lot of attention within the general public because of their ‘cool, chic concepts.’ At that information, your heart had fallen into a pool of acid in your stomach. 
Other times were hard, but not this hard. Most of the factors that had kept you or torn you apart were much larger in scale — war, famine, other natural disasters. This, out of all the other times, seemed to be the most difficult; he wasn’t an ordinary man anymore, but a god among men — a god you couldn’t be allowed to approach. You had ditched your friend the moment she’d gotten her change back at the counter, citing a sudden time of the month as the root cause, and dashed out and back to school, sparing only one last glance at the standee. 
You’d been waiting for him for years, carefully looking for any sign of him in the people around you, but you had grown tired and had come to believe that maybe, in this life, you had been set free — that he didn’t exist, and the curse would be over. However, as you pored over each and every teaser, music video, advertisement, and blurry, noise-heavy radio interview you could find even a sliver of his face in, you realized that the curse had come back, and in a much larger force than you could ever imagine. 
You’d stared at your desk for the longest time that day; the sun had dipped out of sight already when you’d sighed yourself out of your trance. It had never been this difficult. Having the Memory was mostly the worst thing ever, but its usual perk was that you could pick him out a little easier, and he was never too far away — nobody you ever knew in your first life ever was. They just kept coming up again and again, running around in little circles throughout time and space, and you recognized them in a way you’ve come to grow familiar with. It’s a tug, sort of like a tickle in your stomach, and you knew then that he was close by. The signal only stopped when you found him, and it usually wasn’t that hard. From there, you were responsible for weaving the same kind of story — one in which you would fall in love, be happy for a period of time, and then… well. 
Heehyeon has the Memory, too. She’d remembered you from a previous life, too, and picked you out of a packed line at a coffee shop, striking up one of the most awkward conversations you’d ever had the displeasure of being a part of because she hadn’t been sure if you remembered her. It was only when she mentioned that you seemed like someone she could be good friends with and that you also seemed like you just happened to like your coffee black with two sugars did you realize that her sudden onslaught of friendliness was a sign she might be like you: unable to forget. She’d actually once asked you if you’d tried just letting him go, and you’d responded with a resolute no. At this point, it was too hard to call him a lost cause, even if he really seemed it. How could you stop loving someone you know you’ve loved for millennia? 
He’s extremely handsome in this life, you’ve noted. Girls were falling all over him, which only made things ten times harder. A couple of years back, some rumors of him dating a labelmate had come up. Heehyeon had talked you through that long night of you clutching tissues in a fist and sobbing about how you didn’t want this anymore, how it was never fair, how every single time you had to find him was just growing more and more difficult until it seemed to reach an impossible arc. But, mostly, you’d cried because you hated the possibility — probably the confirmation — that he didn’t remember you at all. 
You didn’t really expect him to, but you always hoped. Every life, you would approach him, and he would be a clean slate. It was a tiring process, one you wished you weren’t constantly responsible for. Some days, you resented him; how could he live his life carefree, without even the notion that you two were meant to be together? Most days, though, you just longed for him. Him, and a happy ending. 
You let out a sigh as the track changes. His voice greets you again; over time, you’ve noticed it sounding even cooler, more impactful. He’s doing well for himself. And here you are, attempting to make yourself stand out in a pool of fans he probably can’t even see clearly. Nice.
You get to listen to about half of the newly released album before you realize you’re nearing your stop. Sidestepping a couple of baskets of oranges, you make it to the door and dash out. Heehyeon had drawn you a crude map to CJ E&M, and you’d been skeptical of it at first, but you realize now you would have gotten lost and missed the stage long before you got there if you had gone in blind. You’d make sure to thank her when you got back. If you did actually come back in one piece. 
Heehyeon also hadn’t been joking; the line outside looks like it would fill a whole section of Jamsil. You’d heard of the dedication of some of these fans, but you’d never seen it like this, nor had you ever actually been a part of it. Kids were really up at three in the morning in support of NCT. Many of them are probably here specifically in support of Mark, you think. Sure enough, the people you line up behind are holding holographic slogans with the print “Mark-yah!” You swallow hard, trying not to regret your decision not to partake in that. 
It feels like hours before you get even close to the door of the building. The chatter has died down a little, but not by much; even with less people ahead of you, the noise pollution increases in tandem with the excitement in the atmosphere. You’re not excited, though. You’re sick to your stomach, wishing you hadn’t come alone and wondering if you were going to regret this. Probably. Luckily, a couple of teenagers behind you strike up a casual conversation starting with “ah, it’s getting more humid now,” and you take turns complaining about what the weather would probably be like later on in the day before you start talking about NCT. They’re both Jaehyun fans, and you think about whether or not you remember meeting him in a past life. Nothing really rings a bell.
When you tell them you’re here for Mark, they giggle. 
“We know,” they chime. “You’re wearing blue.” 
“It’s his favorite color,” you say, a little defensively. 
“Everyone knows that. Everyone here wearing that ocean blue is a Mark fan. Didn’t he say so once?” They dissolve into laughter again, but you say nothing. Maybe he had said that recently. Then again, his favorite color has always been blue — the color of the sky and the sea he seems to love so much. 
The line grows shorter and shorter, and your ankles feel like they’re starting to swell. You’ve been standing for a good two hours now, and you regret not having bought one of those NCT membership cards that get you up to the front of the line. It’s really no surprise that you, the two Jaehyun fans, and the others in the line behind you are all squished in the back, just like Heehyeon had said you would be. It takes a good twenty minutes before the lights dim down and the stage lights start up, and you hear the buzz that increases in volume right before it becomes a collective deafening shriek from the crowd. The light sticks go up, and you’re momentarily blinded by the large stars that blink NCT in some weird logo form before you get your bearings again. By that time, the members have begun trooping onto the stage in a single file, and you forget your swollen ankles as you tiptoe and crane your head for a better view. 
He’s there, your mind screams. He’s right there. You’ve got a whole crowd in front of you, but he’s right there. 
The Jaehyun fans are losing their mind too; he’s talking, asking them how they found the album and encouraging them to keep supporting it. Typical idol stuff, you assume, but the fans go wild in an attempt to reassure him that they will. They all speak in a line, and you note Mark will be last. When the mic is handed over to him, the fans start screaming again. You feel like you want to yell as well, except you’re not sure if you’ll say something actually coherent that other people will hear. Instead, you tiptoe a little higher, fixing your pretty bad eyesight on his face and perking your ears up. 
“You’re all here so early,” he starts. “How long have you been waiting for us?” 
A flurry of numbers fly across the room. He smiles in this genuinely affectionate way even though his eyes can’t focus on a single person in the dark, and your heart stutters at the sight.
“Do your mothers know you’re here?” He’s teasing now. “You can’t tell them that NCT is the reason you’re not sleeping well, you know. Everyone, make sure that you eat breakfast and rest well before school today, okay?” 
While the crowd screams in response, you let out a little whimper. It’s a weak, pathetic sound, but it essentially sums up how you feel, seeing him like this from so far away. 
The pre-recording starts, but you barely catch anything. You’re too small for this kind of life, and you get so tired of tiptoeing that you actually do try to push your way through the crowd. Of course, this is fruitless, and you end up squatting by the back wall of the room, sipping on your water conservatively and listening to the Jaehyun fans do the chant religiously. 
NCT performs the song two more times before they’re saying their goodbyes. You muster up the energy to stand again and make a beeline for the exit before everyone else can smash their way through. The sun is almost up now; beads of sweat form on the nape of your neck as you round the building, trying to find the indicated spot that Heehyeon had marked as the back exit of CJ E&M. You worry about how you’re in the wrong place for about ten minutes until you see the two Jaehyun fans turning the corner quickly, obviously with the same goal as you: to catch NCT as they leave the building. 
In no time, the fans have gathered at the spot again, and it seems like they’ve multiplied tenfold; the chants are louder and there are girls with gigantic cameras trying to shove you away from the spot. Security from the company camps out in front of you, their gazes shifting from the door to the crowd and back again. 
People around you roar the moment the doorknob turns. Nine of them file out, now in regular clothing, surrounded by their own security. You feel a surge of force behind you, trying to push forward, and someone’s camera lens hits you hard in the side of the face. You barely have time to cry out in surprise, caught in what would have been a scream of pain, when you see him. 
In the growing light, Mark looks like a king. No — like a god, actually. Everything on his face shines even when minimal sunlight strikes it; his teeth help, too, brightening his face as his mouth hangs open in an easy laugh. He’s talking to Doyoung and has to face him, his sharp jawline being the first thing anyone can see from that perspective, and it’s that angle that creates all these alarms in your head. 
For some reason, you’ve blocked out the noise around you. Even the pain from the camera lens attack isn’t bothering you as much anymore; you feel like you’re in an aquarium, and all the screams are on the other side of the glass. Your vision tunnels; all you can see is him. 
You’d promised Heehyeon you wouldn’t do anything stupid. Again and again, she’d asked you and drilled you and reminded you that you weren’t supposed to do anything that would get you into trouble. Even with those promises you’d made, she’d still doubted you. Later, when you’d tell her this story, she’d roll her eyes and yell I told you so!, because, well, she did tell you. And, when you’d look at it in retrospect, you’d see that you should have listened. 
Right now, though, you’re walking. Somehow, the camera lens that had attacked you had turned its gaze onto much more important targets; the guard stationed in front of you grunted in pain and reflexively retracted his hand after the lens made contact with it. It wasn’t a long movement, but it was enough for you to be pushed forward by the crowd. Enough to get your feet moving. 
Other fans had stopped trying to break through; though many were still hysterical, most were trying to take pictures of the members as they climbed into the van. One by one, they were disappearing before your eyes. No, you thought to yourself. Your chest tightened. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you think that the noise behind you has gotten much louder. Not now. He hasn’t seen me yet. Not yet, please. 
You don’t realize that your feet have picked up the pace, and you’ve broken into a short sprint before the building security could catch you. It’s too late; he can’t leave his post, and he only has to hope that NCT’s staff are well-equipped to fend off a running girl. They are, but they’re too busy helping the members that they’re caught unaware — just long enough for you to be within an arm’s reach of them. 
Mark is almost in the van; he’s caught off-guard, too, and he doesn’t realize that something’s not right until you’re already there. Security grabs his arm and tries to tug him out of your reach and into the van at the same time that a strong hand grapples at the back of your shirt. Doyoung, who had been by Mark’s side, tries to use his arms to shield you from his friend when he realizes who you are targeting, yelling out something you can’t really understand. 
It’s a ten-second long struggle of limbs in which you hear your own “Let go of me!” harmonize perfectly with Mark’s frantic “What the —?” Somehow, though, you’re able to fight through Doyoung’s arms and grip Mark’s wrist with a sweaty palm. The contact causes him to turn back reflexively, eyes wide in shock. 
His eyes. God, please, won’t he recognize me? Your fingers close around his wrist a little more tightly. Your mouth is dry, and your throat is on fire. You’re wasting precious time. You only manage out a weak, “Please, Mark, it’s me,” before he’s twisting his wrist away. The arm that gripped your shirt moves to lock around your waist, and you’re hauled, empty-handed, away from the van. Awareness you’d lost slowly trickles back into you. The crowd isn’t screaming at the members now; they’re screaming at you. They’re angry. As you’re dragged away, you vaguely note that the Jaehyun fans you were with are fuming behind the security guards still keeping them in place. 
The security guard that carried you off like a rag doll plants you in front of him, and he lets go of your waist but still keeps his grip tight around both your forearms, which have been twisted behind you. You have no choice but to watch from afar as the members drag Mark into the van, looks of concern etched across their faces. They ask him if he’s hurt, and he shakes his head. Right before the door closes, he quickly glances back at you. Your heart sinks for the second time today as you see something in his eyes you’d never seen before. 
Fear. Mark is afraid of you.

Double Trouble
On the twelfth day of Tropemas, hyperfixated-gvf gave to me:
A Danny x Reader x Josh Tropemas ending!
Christmas Song Pairing: “I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" by Dean Martin
Trope: Cuddle For Warmth
~~~
Pairing: Danny Wagner x Reader x Josh Kiszka
Warnings: Language, smut, threesome, Josh x Danny content
Words: 4.8k
Author's Note: Well, we stuck to the schedule much better than we did last year, so I count it a win. I feel like I cheated Danny gals out of a solo fic, so I have a second version of cuddle for warmth that I might one day release, who knows. There also might be a little treat for any of my other Sam/Danny pairing lovers out there -- stay tuned.
Most of all, I know there has been a few Josh x Danny x Reader fics written recently, and you should all definitely go check out @streamingcolors-gvf and @tripthelightfandomtastic because they both have some things. I swear this was one of the first fics I wrote for Tropemas and am not in any way trying to ride the waves of their glory (I would drown, their content is too good and almost intimidated me out of posting this but 🤷‍♀️) so I hope you all enjoy the last (official) Tropemas fic!
Cheers to another successful year of Tropemas! 🥂

“I told you guys this motel was sketchy as fuck,” you said into total darkness, the already-spotty lamp having shorted out and left you with nothing but the howl of the wind outside that was whistling in from some crack in the window. Not that the boys had really any say in where you’d had to pull off for the night. It was more just to share your misery, since it loves company and all that.
But that wind — you could feel it in your bones. The old heating unit underneath the shitty caulking job stood no chance at combating the chill of the room, and the fact that the sheets on this pull-out couch bed were threadbare and withheld no fucking body heat at all had you shivering in your pajamas. If there were ever a time you wished you’d listened to your friends when they told you that nice, fluffy, matching PJ sets were the best, it was now. But you ran hot when you slept – not that it mattered when it was -15 degrees outside and a balmy 5 inside.
“I wonder if Jake and Sam have it any better,” Josh said softly from the bed. When flipping coins, you’d unfortunately come up with tails, meaning that the master suite would not be yours for the night when you were forced to pull the van into a horror-movie motel to avoid killing all five of you on black ice. You were so close to the cabin the boys had booked, too – so close – but the ice storm had rolled in just as the sun went down, and you, along with several other drivers, apparently, had to make due with the rooms available at Cockroach Central. 
Jake and Sam in the single Queen, and you, Josh, and Danny in this crappy ‘Queen sized with a pull out couch’ icebox.
“I doubt it,” Danny sighed, voice deep with interrupted sleep.
You weren’t surprised that he’d found the ability to sleep, even with the ice hitting the windowpane and your breath crystallizing in the air; he always had that ability, Danny. But as another gust of icy wind shook the windows, and you felt the subsequent cool air permeate your already-cold cocoon, you let out a barely audible whimper-groan.
You didn’t think it was loud enough for the boys to hear, but apparently you were underestimating how small the room was. “Are you okay, Y/N?”
The next noise that came out of your mouth was frustrated, and it wasn’t directed at Josh for asking, but you’d taken the last shift driving and you were exhausted, except now it didn’t seem as if you’d be getting any sleep at all. “I’m freezing,” you admitted, and you heard immediate shuffling from the bed.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Danny asked from above. “Come over here and get warm, dummy.”
But you hesitated. You knew that the boys would give you the shirt off their back if you asked for it, but you didn’t want them to sacrifice their own comfort and sleep for you – it was one night, after all, and they had been cooped up in the van just as long as you had. “I mean…is there even room up there?” you asked, still sorely tempted to join them, despite your pause. “I don’t want to kick you guys out of bed.”
“We’ll make it work,” came Josh’s voice next. “We grew up shoving as many people in a bed as we could, Y/N, come on.”
And, well, twist your arm. You pushed your thin blankets off and scurried over to the bigger bed, which had a mattress that retained heat and two other bodies to contribute to the task of keeping you warm. 
“Oh my god,” you groaned blissfully, teeth still chattering as you settled into the space between them that they made, citing ‘maximum warmth’ when you’d told them you’d be fine taking the edge. “If I’d known you guys were living space heaters, we’d have been sharing a bed from the start.” 
Josh’s hand crept over your hip from where he’d instantly wound himself around you under the blankets. The cuddling wasn’t new — Josh was a tactile person on his worst days, and a cuddle buddy was a cuddle buddy. But the way he was vigorously rubbing his hand up and down your body was ruffling your sleep shirt, Danny, on just the other side of you, was going to be pressed against exposed skin if he didn’t stop soon.  “Shit, Y/N– even your pajamas are cold.”
“I know,” you sighed, smacking your lips together in contentment. If you’d been a cat, it would’ve been a purr as you began to feel your feet again. “I’ve been shivering in them since we got here.”
Not to be left out, Danny crossed one big hand over Josh’s arm to feel for himself, and your breath stuttered a bit. It wasn’t as if you were immune to their talent and good spirits, and you had eyes — you knew your friends were an attractive bunch. But you never let your fantasies run too amuck; you were an avid sleep talker, and you’d never recover if something slipped out while your dreams took you places you dared not think about during the day.
Places like here, plastered against both Josh and Danny while they warmed you up. Perhaps not in the way you wanted in your limited fantasies, but you were nevertheless in bed with them, their hands all over your body. You hummed at the contact, shifting your shoulders to shake some of the energy they brought with their touch off.
“Why’d you wait so long to tell us you were cold?” Danny asked, lips so close to your ear he barely had to murmur for you to hear. That distance was soon made even scarcer, as Danny tugged Josh closer on your other side so that you were all three a mess of tangled limbs, cuddling to keep every ounce of warmth between you.
You shrugged with the space you did have, and tried to turn on your side towards Danny, your ass already becoming numb. You were a side sleeper, anyways, so you’d end up in that position regardless. The two men adjusted with you, Josh pushing forward to melt against your back while Danny pushed back and let you get comfortable before assuming his position again, nearly brushing your nose with his. 
At this point, you were glad the lights had shorted out, because at least there was a chance Danny didn’t notice either your blush or your surprise that he’d rebounded back in so close. You had no choice but to ball up your hands and let them rest against his chest, feeling the rise and fall of his breaths from the front, and Josh’s from your back. 
“Um…I told you. I didn’t know if there would be enough space.”
Josh chuckled against the back of your neck, making you shiver – but this time, not from the cold. “Well, here’s your proof. There’s always room for you, Y/N.”
“Good to know,” you squeaked, growing embarrassed at how much just the simple pressure of their bodies against yours was making you wet. You knew you couldn’t blame yourself – it’d been a few days since you were alone enough to get yourself off, and this was the first time you’d been in an actual bed since you’d left for this spontaneous cabin getaway with the boys. And when you were in a bed, your body demanded orgasms; it was something of a Pavlovian response at this point.
Now you’d be tired and horny in the morning, but at least you wouldn’t be cold. Although you were beginning to question which was worse.
Danny’s lips quirked up, and you squeezed your eyes shut. He’d most certainly heard the change in pitch of your voice, and you felt a chuckle rumble shake his chest and escape as a breath through his nose. “That was cute,” he breathed. “Is there something the matter?”
Josh’s hips shifted back, and his lips were at your ear, next. “He’s right. I can feel your heartbeat from your back, Y/N. What’s going on?” His words had turned sultry in a matter of seconds, and your face burned, feeling a little foolish for thinking that they wouldn’t be able to feel what they were doing to you in their proximity. 
Although, the response other than a serious ribbing from the both of them was unexpected. You’d have expected them to make fun of you, not do…whatever this was. Unless this was their way of teasing you (not in the good way). “Fuck you guys,” you mumbled. It was a cruel joke either way, and you were beginning to wish that you’d just layered up and stayed in that stupid pull-out bed.
Danny caught your chin with the knuckle of his pointer finger, and tipped your face up to his. “Oh yeah? Is that what you want?”
Every function screeched to a halt, and you couldn’t find the words to answer. 
They were serious? This wasn’t a joke? They wanted to fuck you – together, in the same bed – just because they’d felt your heartrate pick up a bit and your breathing become uneven?
Josh rolled his hips into you again, and you were suddenly made aware that he was hard in his flannel pants. Hard and warm against your ass, in such a good way that you couldn’t help but press back into him. You were rewarded with a small groan and the feeling of his fingers tightening on your hips. “Shit, Y/N. Don’t do that unless you’re gonna answer Danny.”
“I…yes?”
“Yes? Like, a question? Or, ‘yes,’ for sure?”
The situation was evolving very quickly, but you must have been hornier than you imagined you’d be, because it was difficult to find reasons to decline their generous offer. “For sure,” you said, tucking your lip between your teeth as you waited on baited breath to find out what that answer would bring.
Like racehorses let out of the gate, the response was whip-quick, and you gasped as that lip you’d held captive was dragged from its place by Danny’s mouth, and Josh groaned, “Oh thank god,” before tugging your hips back into his erection. “You’ve got us wrapped around your finger, Y/N, you had to have known what your little noises would do to us.”
“Little noises?” you gasped out, hand reaching up to tangle in Danny’s wild curls as he began to nip across your jaw. “You mean…normal ones?”
Danny pulled back, and his absence was missed, but the sight of him shucking his shirt off was a welcome one. “Caught,” he said with a smirk. “It’s just you. You drive us crazy, no matter what you do or where you do it.”
The sentiment was cheesy at best, but you chose to disregard that fact in favor of letting Josh drag your own shirt off your body, too. “Yes, yes,” he said impatiently, fingers crawling over your bare skin, stopped only by the sports bra you wore, “we’ve been thirsting over you, sweet thing. I’ve thought about this beautiful body of yours so many times. In the still of the night,” he whispered, slipping under the flimsy material covering your breasts, “when I can’t help myself. Like right now.” 
You let a small noise slip out as he softly rubbed his thumb over your nipple. It wasn’t enough for them, though, and Danny quickly nudged Josh’s hand. “Let us see you. Josh wasn’t the only one thinking dirty, filthy thoughts when it came to you,” Danny said, laid back down so that the blankets were once again keeping the rising heat in.
Your sports bra came off, and you wriggled out of your pants, as well, knowing that they would be one of the next items on the list, and then you were naked. Naked, and Danny was naked, too, and when you settled back in, you realized that Josh’s cock was now hard and hot and leaking against your ass, meaning that he rounded the company out, and it was officially a threesome.
Josh backed up, though, so that Danny could put you on your back and trail kisses down your throat until he reached your breasts. You mewled when he took your nipple into his mouth, and it seemed that broke Josh, as he put a hand on the base of his dick and squeezed. Your noises must have actually done it for him. “Mmmm, Danny,” you sighed, foot sliding up the mattress in pleasure. Danny shifted so that he was straddling your thigh, and he ground down once, his cock twitching against your skin.
“You’re so soft,” he murmured against your skin. “Are you soft everywhere, I wonder?”
His words were the only warning you got before his fingers slipped between your lips and spread your wetness across your pussy. “Oh, yeah,” he groaned. “Soft and so fucking wet. Josh, feel how wet our girl is.”
Josh didn’t need any more prompting, and he joined Danny between your thighs, his fingers side-by-side with Danny’s thicker, coarser ones. Your whimper and squirms were met with an intensified touch – Josh took the plunge and dipped a singular digit into your entrance, and you felt as though you’d combust if things didn’t progress soon. 
“Soft and wet,” Josh agreed, his finger pressing forward and pulling back gently. “Finally get to feel you, Y/N. How do you like to play, sweet thing?”
Danny hummed, still mouthing over your stomach. “Did you like it when we played with your pretty little tits? Or do you like Josh’s finger inside you better?”
You were becoming frustrated with their sudden slow-down after taking advantage of the whole bed situation so quickly. “I like them both– I just need more,” you whined, your pussy clenching around Josh’s finger as you tried to fuck yourself faster. “Come on, guys, I know you can do better.” You switched tactics on them, goading instead of whining, and Danny chuckled against your skin.
“More?” he asked, looking at Josh. “What do you think, Josh– wanna fill her up a bit? Add a couple of fingers?”
Josh answered in action, fitting a second finger in beside the first and upping the speed, angling his fingertips to run along your walls until he found that sweet spot inside of you. You gasped and bucked your hips, but Danny held you down gently.
“Shit– right there, Josh!” you affirmed, stilling so that he could focus on that spot.
The lights suddenly flickered back on, and everything paused as you took in the now lit-up scene with blown-pupil eyes. You all three blinked at each other, drinking in the finer details. Finally, Danny’s lips quirked up in a smirk and he pressed a kiss to your hip while Josh continued fingering you.
Josh’s next words weren’t directed at you; he’d heard you, and he wasn’t budging on his positioning, but instead, he met Danny’s eyes and smiled, which you barely caught with your eyes fluttering shut as they were. “Better, she says,” he scoffed, gently mocking your nettling. “If there’s anything I’ve learned about better, it’s that fingers are always better with a mouth. Daniel, care to assist since you’re already down there?”
“More than happy to,” Danny said with a shark-like grin, and your lips trembled with a moan as you watched him converge with Josh’s fingers, then felt his tongue envelope your clit, rolling pressure and darting around in circles like a pro.
This man knew what he was fucking doing.
“Hot fuck, you guys,” you keened, their combined efforts quickly uncovering your growing orgasm. “Have you– ahh– you done this before?” you asked shakily, vacillating between closing your eyes to take in the sensations and watching them both work between your legs.
Josh and Danny shared an amused glance, and you realized that the question wasn’t as pointed as you meant it to be – you’d be the first to claim that you weren’t in the state of mind to care, but you also found it in you to roll your eyes when Josh said, “Yeah, a couple of times,” for the both of them, since Danny’s mouth was occupied, his lips suctioned around you.
“I meant together.”
Josh chuckled and then pinched his pinky and thumb together so that he could bind his middle three and slowly delve them into you underneath where Danny was. “No. But we did talk about it when we got drunk together once. Only once,” he assured quickly, “we didn’t, like, plan this all out beforehand. The opportunity presented itself, though, and you seemed into it…”
You let out a breathy laugh. “Seemed?”
“Touché,” he said, three knuckles deep into your wet core and building a steady rhythm that pushed you higher and higher.
Danny’s contributions were exacerbated when he grasped the undersides of your thighs and pressed his face into you as hard as he could while still trying to avoid taking away Josh’s ability to finger you. 
“Ah– ah,” you croaked, back arching as the coil grew tighter. “Guys, I’m gonna– fuck me, I’m right there; I’m gonna cum, just keep going!”
“No need to tell us twice, sweet thing,” Josh cooed. “Come on, now, let go. You can cum pretty all over my fingers, all over Danny’s mouth. Show us how you do it. God, you look so beautiful,” he babbled, fingers working faster inside of you as you cried out once more and fell off the edge of the cliff.
You fisted the sheets with one hand, and with the other, you pushed Danny’s head away, spasming with overstimulation as he kept sucking you up even as you came down. “Danny– that’s a lot,” you gasped, hips twitching from the force of the orgasm. 
He listened, and pulled away just as Josh withdrew his soaked fingers, rubbing them together and then spreading them apart, where they webbed with your release. As Josh brought them towards his face, Danny caught him by the wrist and beat him to the punchline, his lips – still glistening with your cum as well – wrapping around Josh’s digits and sucking them clean.
A shock of arousal shot through you at the sight, and you were liable to fall apart and never be put back together again when Danny popped the fingers out of his mouth and was immediately pulled into a searching kiss afterwards. Josh’s hands remained firm, one on the side of Danny’s neck, and the other tangling with Danny’s at his side. He was smirking when he pulled away, and the side-eye he sent your way told you that he was aware of what he was doing to you, how he was playing you.
Like a damn fiddle.
“You taste like an angel,” Danny remarked, turning his attention back to you. “Doesn’t even matter where I get you from.”
“Come here,” you huffed, guiding him into another kiss, this time pushing your tongue into his mouth, as if you could taste the remnants of all three of you together. You could feel the tip of his cock catching your tummy every so often, though, in the hovering position he was in, and the desire you had to be dicked down by these men returned in full force. “Fuck me, Danny,” you breathed against his lips. “I want you inside me. Please.”
“Shit,” he cursed gently, lowering himself so that he was covering every inch of you from head to toe. You were totally encompassed in him, so you wrapped your legs around his waist to lock him in. 
Josh looked on, slowly stroking his own cock to find relief. “Go on, Dan,” he encouraged. “Give it to her like she’s asking.”
“Begging,” Danny corrected, running his thick head through the result of their sloppy-wet work. “I’ll fuck you so good,” he promised, lining up with your entrance. “Get you to cum again for us so that I can see this time. I can’t just miss out on feeling you clench around some part of me.”
You popped your hips up, trying to get him to slide into you (it would have been easy enough with how wet you were from your last orgasm). “I’ll cum for you,” you keened impatiently, “but I need you to actually fuck me first.”
Josh snorted. “Still a little spitfire even with a dick in you, aren’t you?”
You were about to retort that there wasn’t a dick in you yet, when Danny finally pushed past the initial resistance that served as a reminder that you really hadn’t taken much more than your fingers and a small vibrator recently. He was substantially bigger than yours or Josh’s fingers, even three of them.
“Yeah,” he hissed, throwing his head back as he eased in. “Open up for me, angel; let me in that pretty, pink heaven.”
Josh laid down beside you, plastered to the length of your body as you wrapped your legs around Danny’s waist and encouraged him to start moving. The hand that wasn’t still stroking himself snaked up your body to pinch and play with your nipples as your breasts jiggled in time with each new punch of Danny’s hips to yours. 
You could smell Josh, so close to you, even beyond the scent of sex that was slowly permeating the air around you. “Danny fucks like a god,” you whimpered to no one in particular, barely holding onto your sanity as you were filled to the brim time and time again.
Danny’s grip on your hips tightened at your praise, and your attention was yanked back to the man currently rearranging your guts in the middle of the night in a crappy motel while one of his best friends waited his turn. “Say it to my face.”
You met his heavy-lidded gaze, and reached up to him. He leaned into your palm, and you smiled at him. “You are crazy good at lighting me up, Daniel Wagner.”
“Warm her up, make her burn, ” Josh murmured, leaning over to replace his fingers with his tongue.
With the warm, wet swirl around your nipples and Danny’s hand making its way to press down on your lower stomach, changing up the angle that he hit inside you, you were more than close to your second orgasm. “Feel that, Y/N?” Danny huffed, slowing to grab your hand and push it to where he’d been a moment earlier. “Feel how fucking deep I am?” 
Maybe it was because you wanted to feel him, or perhaps you weren’t imaging it at all, but you could have sworn that each time Danny’s hips smacked into yours and he sheathed himself balls-deep, you felt him nudge the heel of your hand where it impressed into your stomach. Regardless of whether you could with that hand, though, you could certainly feel him in other ways, so you whined and nodded, focused on the sensations.
“God, you take me so well, Angel. Wanna live here,” he whimpered, hips stuttering as he joined you on the precipice.
“In a shitty motel?” Josh joked, re-inserting himself into the situation. “Or so far up Y/N’s cunt she’s gonna have a hard time thinking about anything else for the rest of the trip?” 
Danny panted, hot and loud, and grunted as he embodied his livelihood: rhythm, reliability, and consistency in each slide into you bringing you both closer and closer to the edge. “The second one.”
Josh nodded, slipping his fingers down to circle your clit, obviously reaching the end of his patience and no longer willing to wait his turn . “That’s what I thought. Can’t blame either of you, really,” he sighed, pushing himself up on one arm to kiss whatever breath Danny had left in his lungs away.
Even then, Danny didn’t falter, and his steady thrusts soon paid off. You both gave into the pressure, and Danny yipped out his orgasm against Josh’s lips, topping it off with a deep groan as he emptied himself into you, shallowly pumping himself through it before he collapsed onto his forearms, lips brushing yours as he caught his breath.
“Are you ready to take Josh?” he whispered, pressing a sweet kiss to your mouth before you could answer.
“Before that, actually,” Josh interjected, moving in closer and encasing you in their body heat again now that the chill was creeping back in and cooling your sweat quickly, “I’m gonna need you to move off our sweet Y/N, here. There’s something else I’d like to do before I get to follow in Big Dick Dan’s footsteps.”
His hand was running up and down Danny’s bare back, and you felt the rumble of laughter rise from Danny’s chest, so there was no surprise when a laugh that was a little too loud escaped his face, now crinkled up in joy. “I swear they don’t call me that. I’ve never heard that nickname in my life,” he giggled, and Josh pursed his lips exaggeratedly from beside you.
“Not to your face, maybe.”
Danny did as Josh asked, though, and gingerly pulled himself out of you, sighing as he finally rested his entire weight on the bed at your side. Josh quickly took his place, eyes roving over your lower half and then meeting yours once he apparently found what he was looking for.
Making his way down your body, he wet his lips. “Let’s see if you still taste as Danny has so lovingly named you, Angel,” Josh said, lowering himself to fit in between your thighs. He wasted no time in spreading you apart and lapping you up with the flat of his tongue, catching the slow drip of Danny’s cum as it leaked out of you.
The gasp that flew out of your mouth sounded offended, almost, and Danny’s fingertips dug into the skin of your arm, where he’d been caressing a few seconds earlier. 
“Fuuuuck,” Danny rumbled, low and long. “How’s his mouth feel, Angel? Is it as good as it always looks onstage?”
You moaned with your lips sealed shut, pushing your hips into Josh’s mouth. “Better,” you sighed, eyes fluttering closed. You stayed like that, with Danny reaching up to stroke your nipples and kiss your neck while Josh ate you out enthusiastically, slurping and sucking until he had his fill and came up for breath.
He looked slightly crazed, pawing desperately at your thighs while he rocked his hips, cock catching the sheets in a way that must have been driving him insane.
“Come on, Josh,” Danny cooed, pulling your leg over so that you were laying on your side, spread for Josh since Danny hooked you in his elbow. “You’ve gotta be so hard. Give it to her. She’s got another one in her, right, Y/N?”
You bit down into Danny’s shoulder as you nodded, then met Josh’s gaze. “Come on, Josh, come and take me higher. Get us in the fast lane.”
Josh positioned himself behind you, cuddling as you had been at the beginning of the night, but now you were much warmer, and much more fatigued. As he shakily guided himself to your entrance, slicking up the tip of his dick with what he’d left behind, he pushed in slowly and said, “You have us for the entire night, angel, no need to rush.”
“Yeah,” Danny hummed against your open lips, spread in the ecstasy of being stretched once more, “no need to rush at all. We need to keep you warm all night.”
Jake and Sam were already waiting for you in the lobby when Josh and Danny had managed to drag themselves out of bed. Considering they hadn’t been the ones fucked half to death until the sky began to lighten, you were unsympathetic to their whines about being tired, and were quite proud that you managed to walk all by yourself without the assistance of a wheelchair.
Sam caught sight of you first and waved you over, looking restless and jumpy and ready to leave. “This motel sucks. The coffee is cold and I’m pretty sure from last year, so I’d skip it,” he huffed.
Sam wasn’t a huge coffee drinker, so the fact that he’d been desperate enough to try coffee from the ancient-looking carafe was a surefire sign that he hadn’t slept well either.
For entirely different reasons than you, Danny, and Josh, but he didn’t need to know that.
“You seem a little grumpy,” you smirked. You saw recognition on his face and turned to see Danny and Josh finally stepping out of the stairwell, since the elevators didn’t work. 
“Yeah, because I couldn’t fucking sleep when it was in the negative inside the room. Were you guys freezing last night like Jake and I were?”
You doubted the others would need much convincing to stop for breakfast and coffee, so you just shrugged your bag over your shoulder, shook your head innocently, and smiled. “Nope,” you said lightly. “I was toasty all night long.”

Polykessoku Headcanons
look man, this is just me dumping my favorite tropes on Kessoku Band because i don’t have the strength or energy to write a proper fic right now. your mileage may vary and read with care.
a few headcanons for s1 era:
Kita-chan was already aware of Bocchi since the start of the school year, way before she found out Bocchi plays guitar, her curiosity slowly burning until Bocchi’s attempt to talk to her broke the ice.
Nijika and Ryo have an on-and-off-romantic-chicken thing going on in the background for years, where they’ll flirt (or react as if being flirted with) but the first one who gives in and kisses the other loses.
the following stuff is way down the line, where Kessoku Band is more established and our girls have known each other for much much longer:
Nijika is the first one who realizes she has feelings for multiple people, when she realizes she likes Bocchi and Kita-chan, on top of whatever she has going with Ryo. She’s also the first one who brings up her feelings for their bandmates with Ryo, and Ryo’s pretty chill cuz the two of them were never official nor exclusive and Nijika’s well aware of the random flings and what-not Ryo finds herself in. (also, imagine these two going on research binges when they first started exploring the idea of polyamory. Nijika is a smart hardworker and Ryo hyperfocuses.)
Kita-chan has never heard of polyamory and at one point she was heavily agonizing over her feelings for both Bocchi and Ryo. Once she musters up the courage to talk about it with a separate party, she brings it up with Nijika, who is like “You don’t have to choose between them.” and introduces Kita-chan to a whole new world.
At some point, the three of them (Nijika, Ryo, Kita-chan) come to an agreement that they will not do anything that would make things official with anyone until they’re all sure how Bocchi feels (and they all hope Bocchi is also open to the idea of all of them dating each other). Romantic Chicken has expanded to Kita-chan lol. She’s torn between regret and elation because Ryo and Nijika are especially merciless when they tag team flirting with Kita-chan, but teaming with either of them to flirt with the other is a thrill and joy like no other.
Like Kita-chan, Bocchi has also never heard of polyamory and is actually deeply in denial of her feelings for any of them, dismissing her bandmates’s flirting and skinship as just something close friends do... or worse, as something bands do for fanservice (”band gals being pals”).
The denial dam breaks when at one of their major liveshows, Kita-chan pulls off an amazing improv solo to buy time for Bocchi to fix some technical issue before her guitar solo part. It was just like in their very first Cultural Festival performance, but on a grander scale. The guitar solo turned into something like a duet, with the two of them improvising riffs and fills between them. Bocchi is so overwhelmed with so many different feelings and they’re all directed at Kita-chan, so in a spur of the moment, she actually leans in and kisses Kita-chan as they ended the solo.
Of course, poor Kita-chan wasn’t expecting a kiss, so she froze for a few seconds and missed her cue to sing the next stanza. Good thing Ryo is fast on the uptake and sings a few lines as lead until Kita-chan could sing again and Ryo could go back to singing backup vocals.
(To Be Continued another time...)
ok i’m tired and i need to sleep, but please enjoy a few random headcanons regarding dates before i go:
Bocchi feels comfortable in silence with Ryo and would be very down to hang out one-on-one more, if she weren’t worried about getting scammed of her money because, well, Ryo being Ryo. Once she learns to manage her money better (and earns more of Bocchi’s trust), Ryo takes Bocchi some of the stores she normally visits alone, where they’ll browse and listen to the stuff they like and only occasionally chat (cuz, yknow, Team Introvert)
Nijika and Kita-chan’s dates are very normal (meet at station, brunch at a cafe, watch a movie, window shopping afterwards), and they like it that way. They have other partners for crazier stuff.
Kita-chan and Bocchi’s early dates are also very normal... or they try to be, but there’s always Something that neither of them expects and one of them has to bring the other back from the brink of whatever Bocchi Time-esque episode they find themselves in.
Nijika and Ryo’s dates can go anywhere from super normal and low key to wild and random. They bicker and joke around a lot but there’s always, always at least one moment where they both fall silent while standing/sitting next to each other, hand in hand, fingers interlocked tightly with each other. Then they would look at each other, feeling how much they mean to each other’s lives while their eyes are locked... until one of them can’t take it any longer and looks away or waves it off with a laugh because they’re both blushing so hard. They usually end the day sleeping over in one of their houses.

I’m behind on reading/commenting ugh. I did read one of the fics that updated but it made me sad. But like it wasn’t even really a sad fic, it was more open.
This is getting angry and ranty so I’m hiding it under the cut
But idk I’m just so so so tired of my queen being given the short end of the stick. Again it’s why I hella overcompensate and make him suffer. But it’s v annoying to me that he can do whatever and my queen will still love him? Fuck that bullshit. I’m sick of it. I’m sure it’s cause I’ve never been in romantic love so I don’t get it, but if that’s what it’s like I don’t want to understand. All these stories I hear of women staying in toxic relationships where as the men are always able to leave their shituationship and find better matches, is so difficult for me to wrap my head around. This is just in regards to the people in my real life and from some podcasts I listen to (and social media shit) but I swear the percentage is heavily skewed to women trying to save their shitty relationship while the men are able to break out of it.
Anyways, yeah it’s why I absolutely loathe fics where he’s a scumbag and my queen suffers but ultimately he gets to keep her. First that seems very ooc to me, but I also write him ooc too but just way opposite from that. So I guess whatever. But again I ask why must my queen suffer? Hasn’t she suffered enough? Why are we putting her through all this bullshit and tearing her down and making her believe she can only love this one man? Is this supposed to be romantic? Like what? Like oh wow, guess she’s so fucking lucky he decided to choose her after fucking around and being an absolute dick. Grody.
I swear I’m just too American or at least too much of a Vegas gal to be okay with this. Because I see this shit so much in fics and irl I am fucking terrified of it happening to me. To lose my complete sense of self for an underserving asshole who makes me question love? I would rather die. Like kill me please. Cause if there’s anything I know, it’s love. I’m Lots of Love for crying out loud! All forms of it! It’s not just romantic, but the rest of the world seems to think it’s the only one that matters. And I know I’m guilty of that too, cause I am to my core a hopeless romantic. But when it is pure. Not this brainwashed mess where men can be whores but women aren’t allowed to even look at another person.
Back on my fuck first love being the only love bullshit. I fucking hate this trope when it applies to only women. Not super fond of it with men either, but that’s more of a dig at my main fandom I can’t even enjoy anymore.
Would love to read a fic where she’s the player instead of him and it’s perfectly fine. Make him the one who wonders for fucking once. Does she love him? Maybe. Is she enjoying her life and fucking around? Absolutely and as she should! Not caring that she’s stringing him along cause he’s the back up that she knows she can always go back to, and maybe she does actually love him. Go figure.
Some days I get so angry I just want to write a fuck you fic, but also I don’t cause I hate writing and I have too many other projects I would rather finish so I never have to write again. But then I think about having to read these fics and noping out or sticking it out and being pissed even though I knew where it was going and I would hate it. And I’m like hella judgey but at least I’m not an awful person who leaves rude comments for a fic not meant for me. Yeah if you do that shit you’re a fucking asshole and I want nothing to do with you.
I didn’t intend to start this post off so angry, and now I don’t even remember my main reason for trying to make an update here. I’ve just annoyed myself and I need to leave or else I’ll be too tired for my hopeful boost of serotonin tomorrow (or today rather). I’m probably just irritated from being at the airport like all day. I love traveling but some airports and airlines suck.
Anyways main point, let Shiho bejeweled! Don’t keep her locked up in the basement! She’s a diamond, so let her shine damn it!

bollywoodtan sonyeondan: bts in 2010s rom-coms
Listen, I’ve had a filmy weekend, okay? First my friends got engaged and threw a party, then my other friend and I had a sleepover and binged The Romantics, and on top of that, I think I’ve watched five other different Bollywood movies this weekend and I need to channel this energy somehow so please enjoy my explanations for casting BTS in these 2010s Bollywood rom-coms which I hope one day me (or anyone else) can turn into fics thank you very much
Ok, let’s begin:
Kim Namjoon - Baar Baar Dekho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Listen, I know this movie was critically panned? Do I fucking care? No. I love this movie, I would go to war for this movie because Sidharth and Katrina induce massive amounts of bi panic within me. I love Jai and Diya, I love their love, I love the time travel, I love Kala Chashma. So that’s why I’m choosing none other than Bangtan’s resident intellectual Mr. Namjoon to fill those shoes, okay? Namjoon’s expressed his own profound thoughts about marriage, just like Mr. Jai, and him as a genius mathematician who gets caught in a time loop. Drooling
Kim Seokjin - Hasee Toh Phasee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, I would d word for this movie bc it’s just so??!!! My crush on Sidharth Malhotra non-withstanding, this movie is chaotic and beautiful in the best way. It doesn’t try to be flashy or suave, and instead embraces its inner dork. Who does that remind you of, huh? Mr. Kim Seokjin, that’s fuckin who. Nikhil and Meeta just give major OTP vibes, him being a through and through himbo and her being a neurodivergent genius who he can’t help simping over!! Give me Seokjin and OC causing major chaos I beg! And put Zehnaseeb on in the background while you’re at it!
Min Yoongi - Khoobsurat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Am I biased bc I’m Pakistani? Am I biased bc it’s Fawad? Maybe, maybe not! But to quote Lizzie McGuire, this is what dreams are made of!! An off-beat physiotherapist meets a tsundere prince?? And he gradually warms up to her while they get into their own royal shenanigans? You can’t tell me this role wasn’t written for Yoongi, and long haired Yoongi specifically. The grumpy x sunshine trope is super strong with this one, and I love the brightness that Milli brings to the entire family, not just the prince. The Disney movie of everyone’s dreams <3
Jung Hoseok - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Listen, this movie doesn’t get enough credit for just being fun the entire way through!! The comedy is top-tier and the characters are just so likeable and wholesome!! And just this big, amazing hare-brained matchmaking effort that is so Bollywood!! And Imran Khan’s Kush being in love with Katrina’s Dimple, who is definitely bisexual (Dhunki, anyone?!). It’s giving King Hobi vibes, not only because he would go out of his way to do anything for someone he loved, but also because Choomantar is definitely siblings with Daydream and I need to see him bust it down to Do Dhaari Talwar thank you for coming to my TED Talk
Park Jimin - Aisha
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let’s all agree that Gal Mitthi Mitthi Bol is a banger, and then let’s all swoon over Jimin in this adaptation which is based on Emma!! I literally can’t decide if I want Jimin in Aisha or Arjun’s role, but it’d be so fun either way!! I kinda like the idea of him trying to set up all his guy friends and them just being such a fun group who all have their own individual love stories sighhhh. And OC being Arjun who’s all no nonsense and the grounding presence in Jimin/Aisha’s life!! Also the style in this movie was inspired by Clueless, and our mans models for Dior so that’s enough for me to want to make it happen
Kim Taehyung - I Hate Luv Storys
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fun fact - I once watched this movie instead of studying for an exam that was happening at the end of the weekend and had so much fun I passed out on my friend’s couch until 3pm the next day!! This is another one of those nostalgic movies that pays homage to all the fun romantic Bollywood tropes!! And all the DDLJ references made me totally think Taehyung! Except he’s not Jay, he’s Simran, and OC will be Jay, and Taehyung has to convince her to believe in romance!! I think that’s a fitting task for the man I consider to be the most romantic member of Bangtan (he’s SRK’s Korean incarnation imo)
Jeon Jungkook - Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If there’s one himbo I stan, it’s Humpty Sharma. If there’s another himbo I stan, it’s Jungkook. I literally have a severe emotional attachment to this movie and could probably quote most of the lines to you. What I love about this is how Humpty literally shatters all the stereotypes about toxic masculinity - he cries, he’s vulnerable, he believes in love. It just screams bby boi Jungkook vibes. Also pls him doing the most to get Kavya her wedding lehenga - that’s some of the cutest shit Bollywood has pulled in a while and I’m 10000% here for it (pls bring in Jimin and Tae as Shonty and Poplu too)
Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble!! If anyone is interested, I’d love to do more of these, like maybe 2000s rom-coms or action movies!! I’m here for any discourse you guys have too, let’s be film nerds together 💜

Jukebox reviews part 41! For context, see my post “A Project” under  this same tag. If you want to see a full list of his EMCSA stories,  they can be found here, sorted alphabetically.And if you want to see some of his drabbles, check out his blog at @jukeboxemcsa

This is just *cute.* Seeing the two gals navigate introducing Bethany to being hypnotized in-person, the way they use it, the reaffirming the ability to use red if needed... it's one of those stories that just feels perfectly real in ways that Jukebox is so good at capturing. There's a bit more sex to it than I personally prefer, but even with that it's asweet story with a heck of a power dynamic in play. 9/10 spirals

Galen has solid technique here, though I'm not fond of his approach here. And it feels beyond risky - who might call and hear that voicemail recording and ask questions? That all said, it's a clever way to tell a story, though it misses out on the parts I enjoy most - seeing the reaction to the hypnosis and the changes it causes. 6/10 spirals

This one doesn't do much for me - my distaste of psychologists abusing their authority has been stated already in these reviews, so that should come as no surprise. If that's a trope you like, though, you'll probably enjoy this one pretty well. 4/10 spirals

Oh, that got *creepy* in a way the Girls(tm) just haven't been yet. Probably the abuse of tech that is - in however warped a way - designed to help people, turning it into just another way to make people buy things. It's creepy and ick and I just don't like it. Even if the control part is pretty dang good. I hope the Girls(tm) can find a way to stop the Boys from doing what they're doing, whatever exactly it is. 5/10 spirals

Another clever induction, this one designed to keep your brain busy while his words slip inside the reader's (listener's, I assume?) brain. It's a lovely concept, and I'm sure useful for folk working on developing skill with amnesia. 8/10 spirals

This falls in the same sort of space as a psychologist abusing their authority to me, so maybe it's less therapist and more "person in a position of authority"? Either way, if I set that authority to the side it's a good story full of darkly haunting concepts, as she's slowly being trained to be more and more susceptible to the very things she thinks she's trying to learn to resist. Seeing her following suggestions she can't remember, without even realizing she's following them? It's quite well executed. 7/10 spirals

Well, that's a clever use of optical illusions. I really don't like MIriam, she just puts my hackles up, but it's still clever! More visual than works well for me in a story, but the descriptions make it evocative anyway. If you like somewhat coldly dominating women using social convention? Give this one a go. 7/10 spirals

There's so much heat in this one. Her narration, knowing exactly what's happening to her, embracing it, and riding the pleasure and heat of all of it, is just so so good. The joy with which she surrenders to the changes her Master is making to her thoughts, to not remembering what he tells her she's not allowed to remember? It's hot AF, even if it isn't something I'd want to play with outside of strictly controlled circumstances. 9/10 spirals.

I don't know if this would be easier or harder to read if I understood more legalese.I don't think it would make any more sense - the prose feels intentionally dense and hard to read. And I dislike any sort of X gender is inherently superior premise, such as what we see here. These elements combine into a story that's not hot to me. But if you like the sort of "all men are inherently inferior" tone in your erotica, you might like this one? 4/10 spirals 
 Deeper Than Blood
 date uploaded   date updated     Tags
8/25/2018                                     mc mf md
This is such a powerful story of love and therapy applications (kinda) and using hypnotic brainwashing to make someone's life better.  The idea of using hypnokink to make a medical procedure easier is a good one, though my impulse is that it's close enough to therapy that it should only be done with proper training. Still, the deep love and care shown in this story, the use of his control to help her make it through the procedure, all of it's just really good. Not quite hot to me, it just hits a sweet and tender chord for me. 9/10 spirals.

"i know we're not together but i might die today so i'm going to kiss you just in case there is no later" + mr barnes please ayesha. i love you and this trope v much (you moreso but still)
now you hang from my lips,
like the gardens of Babylon
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Warnings: Angsttt, sketchy medical science (when isn’t there), and graphical depictions of violence and wounds. 
A/N: Wow thanks for breaking my heart, Ari. I love you too but look what you made me do. The title is from Taylor Swift’s cowboy like me, and the “bonsai and gardener” is a reference to this amazing show on Netflix called Feel Good (it’s super gay and super cool and I binged it last week). Anyway, enjoy some tears and some kisses. And the reader is totally not a self-insert, bc who says I’m also shy, “my primary love language is acts of service but i’d never tell you i love you” kind of gal.
------
Selfishly, hopelessly, all you can think when the knife enters his neck is, he doesn’t know. And of course, he doesn’t. He can’t. Not when your affection is obscured in pragmatism -- making sure his water bottle is full in the fridge when he gets back from his nightly run, offering to make his morning coffee hours after the last pot has gone cold because he wakes so late now that he has the luxury to, listening to him talk and talk and talk, and it’s been worth it. In the steady care of your friendship, he has grown.
Bucky, the bonsai, and you, the gardener, and now, he’s dying.
The slow-motion of watching the blade pierce his skin passes like a haze, like smog, thick and captivating, and with the spray of blood, time snaps back into place like a rubber band. There is a flurry of movement, as you register Steve shout and launch a vengeful attack on the remainder of the enemy while Wanda scrambles to cover you as you rush for Bucky. Sam is a blur of red, white, and blue as he dives from his place in the sky, not just a captain but your field medic, as ever. 
Upon landing, he begins to bark out orders and while your mind is a flurry of chaos, the instructions stick. Your hands are shaking as you sanitize them, and when Sam asks you to hold the wound in place, you do. The only part of you that is frozen is your mouth, while Bucky’s has gone worryingly blue. Sam’s stitches are as clean as clean can be when the sky is falling -- metaphorically and physically -- but blood is joining the dirt under your fingernails and there’s a puddle of it under his head and his skin is so cold and Sam is calling for you through what feels like miles of water, but then...
Then Bucky’s eyelids start to flutter, and you lean down and press your forehead against his chest, for just a second, say a little prayer and hope it reaches someone’s ears.
You whisper, I love you, and hope it diffuses through the leather covering his chest and makes its way to your heart. All you can think, when your rise again to look at his closed eyes, his blue lips, is, he doesn’t know. He deserves to know.
------
There is a hand holding his, and another, at his neck. The smoke is settling and the battlefield is alarmingly quiet. He breathes and coughs, and squeezes his flesh hand, the one being held. When he opens his eyes, he sees his team around him, and with the sight, return the memories, and so, the literal pain in his neck makes sense. Sam is cleaning his hands and exhales, so Bucky smiles a tight smile, first at him, and then Steve, beside him, who looks close to tears. Wanda is doing her best to conceal her fear, but you, you come into focus and he sees that you are terrified.
Terrified, and oh, so beautiful. You’re talking to him, frantically looking over his wound again and squeezing his hand along, and logically, he knows he should speak, reassure you and Sam and Steve and Wanda, but he’s feeling lightheaded, like the abyss might take him back soon.
So he does the only thing that comes to mind. The only thing that reconciles your fear with the ache in his chest, the product of months of growth. He lifts his metal hand and places it gently on the top of your spine, pulls you down, and kisses you.
The world goes dark, but not before he has recognized jasmine on your lips, even after hours of fighting -- you’re addicted to that tea of yours, but if he could grow plants like you, he might be, too -- and not before he has learnt the way relief tastes on your tongue. If this is his ending, it’s a happy one.
------
He wakes to the sound of machine’s beeping. Steve is asleep on the sofa in his hospital room, and your head rests on the side of his bed by his hand. The urge to run a finger down your jaw is strong, but he resists it. If you’re here, he was right. If you’re here, you know how he feels, and you feel the same. 
Sam appears in the doorway and smiles when he sees that Bucky is awake. In his hand is a Nintendo Switch, which he hands over to Bucky, before passing him a glass of water and sitting down on his other side. There’s a bonsai on the window sill, a vine of daisies growing around your forearm, and a pot of jasmine on his bedside. He pours the remainder of his water in the flowerpot. You can both rest, now.

since everyone is shipping their mutuals, where’s yours 😝
AHH LMAOO 😭 I knew this was coming smh (I’m just playin hehe) IF I FORGOT YOU IM SORRY JUST SEND ME AN ASK - I’m genuinely so bad at remembering moots PLS do not take it personal I promise it’s not like that I swear on everything 😭😭
@alert-arlert - SASHA - Sasha. Ur so soft and sweet and I just know she takes one look at you and becomes OBSESSED with you, like lovesick puppy style. She’s constantly looking at you every time she cracks a joke and is always bringing you little things to make sure you’re taking care of yourself and not draining yourself too much :((( I’m not even kidding or being coy when I say Yuuta here LOL. I can just picture you two sitting and chatting it up and talking off of each other until you’re both interrupting the other but neither of you care or notice cause you’re just so happy <333
@arminiloveyou - yk I’m gonna say Armin - of COURSE I’m gonna say armin - however I think Jean would be so good to you 🥺 not only will he be the most patient parter ever, like so nurturing and taking things as slow as you need, but he is constantly gonna be doting on you and spoiling on you. I’m talking paying for your nails, your eyelashes, even filling up your tank - like the whole nine. At this point he wonders why you’re even still working 🤨 his Home Screen is you and demands bi-weekly photos of you to keep it “fresh” 🙄😭 he also is so good at giving you your personal space and being clingy without overstepping any boundaries
@touyaz - Ace. Ace ace ace. I sat here thinking, contemplating, pondering on who the hell would be your perfect match(es). After much consideration here are my thoughts: Suna. First off, the pair of you together is my worst nightmare. But I really think you’ve met your match. He gets on your nerves JUST as much as you do until you both hit a stale mate and decide to take it out on someone else atsumu LMAOO. But also the vibes between you two feel so right and just <333 also he lives for you to call him pretty and whenever you do he’s mentally twirling his hair around his finger like “really 😋🥰” also Megumi - but purely because I know you’d make his hair fall out and he’d be mad cause he’d enjoy it <33
@plutowrites - oh Pluto… at this point who DONT I ship you with LMAO - the Pluto x anyone agenda is STRONG. Regardless, I’ll never forget the OG - Tsukishima himself. You guys are always a pair in my mind, and I’m obsessed with the whole sun n moon trope (which you two fit perfectly we’ve been through this). Your perfect grumpy boy <333 okay we don’t talk about this enough but you n Armin? Yeah you two are just golden. He’s down bad for you from day one and is your perfectly slightly unhinged boyfriend who takes care of you and keeps you in check <333 also I’m just biased for height differences, imma sucker for em :3
@missmeinyourbones - obviously I’m legally obligated to say Jean here 🙄 but no fr besides jean I want to see u with Megumi so bad just bc I know you’d be pissing him off and bc I have this feeling he’d be obsessed with you and it’d drive him up the wall! He’s constantly like how’s she doing ?? Did she eat today ? Sleep enough? And then he gets mad when his heart does a little flutter when you text him cause he’s like no… ain’t no way I like her this bad. Anyways annoy him for me please 😁
@alonezz - me Annie 🥺🥺🥺 ur so sweet n smart and she’s ur perfect little grumpy gal and she likes how much ik you would dote on her <333 maybe I’m projecting but that little trope would be so cute <333 she also loves when you talk about the things that interest you most and sometimes you can catch her going a little pink when she realizes she’s only been half listening to what you’re saying cause she’s been so busy staring at your face and thinking about how bad she wants to kiss you 🥺

Karate kid (1984) review -
Tumblr media
This movie is art and I’m mad I didn’t watch it sooner. The whole thing is just a genuinely fun and entertaining watch, with a violently 80s soundtrack. Seriously Cruel summer by Bananarama started playing and I officially lost my shit.
General plot-
Honestly half the movie is sort of training montage style? Which is great because I love montages in general but it’s fun lmao. Still not over “ok so your going to  renovate my house but it’s actually teaching you karate”. Mr. Miyagi is my soul I will die for this old man and his Hawaiian shirts. When I say I sobbed when they celebrated Daniels birthday with party hats. Also how he knew what car he’d chose and it’s the dog tags on the keys 🥺. Idk something about found father figures gets to me alright? We don’t deserve him.
Tumblr media
I LOVE Ali, as she doesn’t completely fall into the usual love interest trope. By this I mean she does have her own personality going on and they’re actually cute together? Like more then the typical date scene or “your hot, I’m hot, hey baby how’s it shaking?l” but they’re just? Really adorable. However I don’t get why she was super bitchy half way though? Like Daniel shows up late and shes SO pissy? Like she didn’t do the same thing maybe 3 scenes earlier and didn’t go after him or explain at all and has the gal to be mad he’s slightly late? Like girl- I love you but REALLY? Also gotta love a girl who can deck a guy across the face.
I thought the competition thing was actually hilarious “ok so don’t beat up my kid for two months, THEN you can try.” Is just great. also want to know about Cobra Kai and who let this man be around children? Who let him teach children more importantly and I’m scared on his possible plans for his child army. Sir 😫.
Johnny-
Tumblr media
Love him, the end. A human bully? Amazing. Like he’s not played up as purely a Asshole or a guy who just goes and wails on anyone who looks at him funny. He’s usually around in the background jusT?? Doing high school things? Hanging out, listening to music sort of thing- when he’s not in karate mode at least. I’m really curious on how they further expand on him. It’s also kinda understandable, at least remotely- not over a break up, goes a little nuts. I’ve seen it before.
But specifically I love how him and the other Cobra Kai kids are established to not really be ‘bad’ , it’s mainly Kreese and the absolute hold he has on these kids. Like the look of terror and confusion on Johnny’s face hearing half the stuff he’s telling them to do during the  tournament. One of the scenes that gets me is Bobby gripped to Daniel “I’m sorry I didn’t mean it” over and over again (only for him to be all ‘body bag’ a bit later) and Johnny when he’s told to reinjure Daniel? Like I just- I like that that make it explicitly clear they’re not inherently  malicious? More so then high school bully group that can actually fight. Then again it’s not like Daniel couldn’t in the beginning, he gave the guy a bloody nose.
Here’s just a run down of some of my favorite lines because funny :
“Watch out for falling coconuts”
Not even a line but just how his mom talks up the pool and then it’s that-
Just the part talking about the breakup “she did, he didn’t”
“Yeah, I’m on Minute Maid”
“Weeks? How many weeks is weeks?”
“It’s comin’ around”
“What kinda belt do you have?” “Canvas, Jcpenny $3.98, you like?”
“Make a wish on a shower”
“To baby trees”
 BONSAIIIII
“Survive?!”

going for your older brother's best friend was the typical page in the book. and having two of them was a situation you were beyond thankful for, even if rintarou attempted to keep a distance between them and you. but, you had your ways. even if the ache of atsumu rejecting you with a laugh and a head pat several times was reminiscent, there was one more left: osamu. the latest target of your affections, much to rin's absolute hatred.
it was different than atsumu, you knew this. rin would shoo you off more, shoot glances over at his friend, seem to whisper behind his back. maybe he had nice words for you, or maybe he was insulting you as an older brother would, but you never figured out. all you got was the warning to drop it, and nothing more as you tried to poke at him for answers.
the confession happened in your home, in front of atsumu and your brother. it wasn't your brightest idea, but you were panicking, and it was nearly together anyway. a polite way of asking him out, your hands clasped tightly behind your back as you waited for the answer. there seemed to be an awkward sweat between all three of them, as if they all already knew the answer.
"listen, little sunarin." osamu's words were awkward, the hand going to scratch at the back of his head. his eyes settled on rin's, trying to decipher what they meant. any sort of thing, but for once, it looked like fear. no, he couldn't, but any answer would hurt either of the suna's in this room. and he couldn't be stuck in the middle of a fight. "you're super sweet, you're a pretty gal, it's just..you're not for me. sorry."
"but why? it sounds like i meet everything you want." "yeah, 'samu, tell her why."
shit. he was left nearly alone, with rintarou out of the conversion. most likely in his head again, and he wished that you were like your older brother. "i..listen, i like you as a friend, like a little sister. it's just, i'm dating someone else. someone who should be in this conversation." osamu did his best to snap at rin, nodding his head at you. "tell her."
already, he was doing this. there was a reason rin warned you, standing from his seat on the ground and wrapping an arm around you. a brotherly sign of affection, in case things turned out for the worst. "i'm dating osamu. that's why i didn't want you to ask him."
oh. it finally hit after a second, glancing between the two before nodding. maybe it was selfish for you to like osamu for the sole purpose of wanting to fulfill the trope, to be connected to your brother in a different way. "rin's in love with someone? gross, that's actually kind of disgusting. don't bother me again, i'm going to see if it's too late to leave this family." you shoved the weight off of you, ignoring atsumu's laughter and teasing as you went to your room. maybe it was obvious, but they were cute. better suited together than you were with him, and the right type of love. or a type of love, though you already had plenty of questions to ask your brother later.

What's your total AO3 word count?  1,462,725 😳
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. royai collections - rated: m. just a big ol’ collection of royai oneshots grouped together. idk how i ended up with 100 chapters of random oneshots haha i never imagined i would get that far w them but it’s so Neat seeing all of them compiled together
2. the way it was - rated: m. family royai, royai!kid, canon divergence, “what if riza never joined the military”. my babie. my child. this was a long process to work through but it was so much fun to play about with canon events where royai are married, have a kid, and how much things may change for them both. i think this is the one i’m most proud of overall. so much effort was poured into it. for years this fic was an idea i wanted to tackle and i’ve never felt peace and satisfaction quite like it when i wrapped it all up at the end
3. let you love me - rated: t. family royai, royai!kid, modern au. another one that is dear to me and has been for a long time. i have a playlist for this fic and whenever i listen to it i’m taken right back to the late summer/autumn i worked on it. the vibes are exquisite. this au was pure self indulgence, giving riza a kid and having roy move in next door to them both and royai slowly falling in love <3
4. hit and run - rated: m. historical au, enemies to lovers, basically riza being kickass and amazing w a Neat slowburn, if i do say so myself :)) this is another one i love to pieces and it comes a v v v close second to being my absolute fave story i’ve ever written. the idea was sparked by a trip into edinburgh old town’s ~haunted~ vaults and it was such a joy to write and draw on that experience for the setting. the vibes were perfect
5. closer - rated: t. ~drama central~. this ended up being much more popular than i imagined it would be lol i wanted to dabble in the OC, Jealous Girlfriend trope bc why not and sometimes we all need a wee bit of melodrama in our fic reading/writing lives <3
Do you reply to comments, why or why not? yes!! i love reading comments and people’s thoughts on what i’ve written omg they make my day every time. i want them to know their kindness is v much appreciated. even if it takes a while for me to get round to it bc of life, i will defo reply eventually!
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? hmm idk i think all my fics are angst w a happy ending at the very least, apart from a few hurt/no comfort oneshots. for multi-chaptered fics i always tend to go with the happy ending. idk if i would have it in me to write a really angsty ending for a long fic haha
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? hmm. there’s a few haha. probably the majority of my multichapter fics. so, i’ll choose the happiest fic in general, which has to be my inferno. pure, happy vibes and good times. singer riza killing it and pursuing her dreams while famous bf roy is nothing but supportive and her biggest fan
Do you write crossovers? If so, what's the craziest one you've ever written? no, i have not yet dabbled in a full blown crossover but idk if i ever will
Have you ever received hate on a fic? yeah lol
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? i did a few years ago but nothing for a long time
Have you ever had a fic stolen? not that i’m aware of
Have you ever had a fic translated? i’m not aware if anyone has gone ahead with translating anything. i did get a few questions about it last year (? i think) but idk if they ever did it
Have you ever co-written a fic before? yesss they’re so much fun!! i love working w my friends and creating new things!! i’m always down for it
What’s your all-time favourite ship? royai and msr baybeee
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? hmmm i would say txf royai au but. i’ve not even started it yet ;___; i really want to tho i just know it will take A Lot and i just. don’t have it in me atm. or the time in general. however, i am determined and won’t be so easily beaten. that’s another project i’ve wanted to do for years so one day i’ll get there
What are your writing strengths? i think writing soft royai. people seem to like my soft royai fics :’) and writing aus. i really enjoy working on aus and creating a new world for royai to run around in and be in love. i would like to think the worlds and plots are interesting enough for me to consider them a strength haha 
What are your writing weaknesses? hmmMMM. (there’s a few but) descriptions of places the characters are in i feel like i lack a lot, but i am aware of it and if i was to tackle a big/long plot again that would be something to focus on improving. i could defo include more introspection but also. sometimes i just need to work w the vibe and not go that deep. it takes a lot out of me, however, i just need to practice!
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? i’ve never done it but i have been learning scottish gaelic for the last year and a half and i would love to be able to incorporate it in a fic somehow, but idk if it will ever be able to tie w a royai au haha. idk maybe i’ll just rewrite canon w them all speaking scottish slang that’ll be easy enough. edward elric @ truth: square go mate. @ viz media hmu for that translation anytime 
What was the first fandom you wrote for? the x files
What’s your favourite fic you’ve written? hmmm for the longest time it was let you love me and while i still love it, i think it’s been beaten by the way it was and hit and run. i really can’t pick between the two of them. i’m a simple gal, i love riza and royai!family <3
tagging @firewoodfigs @tsaritsa @megthemighty @bringingglory @nightofnyx8 @niconiconina @vadeofspades but no pressure ofc <333

I’m not gonna be able to update the sibling verse until I get home at this point. I’ll still work on it and just do an extra update in the week when I’m able. In the meantime, I’m hoping to also get the pov verse started. But I’m unfortunately starting to crack ship cause of a fan art I saw that I’m trying very hard not to think about… it’s bad enough I love kaishi and I’m not opposed to Shigo… guys am I finally gonna jump ships? A super crack ship too, I’m gonna die. This is awful. Also finally listening to Tate McRae and I wish Shiho would go through a Think Later phase (the song not the album)
Unrelated update: so the kdrama finally makes sense shinshi wise cause of the past life aspect. Listen I will always support a man losing his shit and killing everyone then himself after his lover dies. More of this please! But also I just love how in love with her he was and how he tried so hard to get her, which is how I always write him so there you have it folks
Unrelated update 2: my ship type honestly is when the girl has more experience than the guy. I absolutely loathe the player and innocent girl trope. I wish it would die. The message is so shit and I’m so over it. Either give me them both being inexperienced and awkward as fuck, or let my queen be the one with experience! (Though I don’t like to think much about that too cause the notp creeps me the fuck out). *sigh I’m happy we have more smut for the ship, so I can finally be picky. I mean I’ve been picky the whole time. I still only comment on fics I enjoyed. The sad reality of being too Americanized in a mostly Asian fandom. Or maybe it’s the Vegas gal in me, idk. Though you would think me being ace would factor in too, but I don’t headcanon either of them being ace so there’s that

Idol Thieves | Chapter One
Tumblr media
Fandom: Monsta X
Genre: Romance, Adventure, Multichapter, Smut
Chapter Word Count: 2.1k
Tropes: Enemies to lovers, coworkers to lovers, love triangles, forced proximity, reluctant partners
Synopsis: Monsta X isn’t just an international pop sensation, and the men in it aren’t regular idols. With a hunger for adventure and a taste for the thrill, they’ll use their charm, charisma, and incredible talents to take whatever they want. Just when they thought they were out of the heist business for good, one last job comes along they can’t turn down. Only problem is they can’t do it alone.
Features all seven globe-trotting, thieving, romancing, fun-loving boys doing what they do best—stealing hearts.
The Vibe: Idol boys with a very big secret, two foreign gals with even bigger secrets, international adventures, insane best friendship, heists glorious heists, peril, adventure, clubbing, masquerades (real and metaphorical), slow burning romance, feelings flying in every direction, getting close only to push away, secret hideaways, vulnerability, smut with feelings, confused hearts
A/N:  THERE ARE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS IN THIS. I DO NOT AND WILL NOT EVER WRITE IN SECOND PERSON POV.
This fic is most literally a labor of love. I started writing this story TWO YEARS AGO for my very best friend and soup snake as a Christmas present. It ballooned out of control almost immediately, and after all this time (and Wonho’s departure--I’m sobbing), I’m ready to share it. It’s an alternate universe (although we’re secretly convinced it’s probably happening in real time here) full of adventure, romance, and some sexy good times. We’re also pretty sure MX knows about it even though it’s never been published. I will be publishing chapters fairly regularly, so enjoy the ride (it’s a long one).
I will also be posting new oneshots and the conclusion to my Neo Seoul Series intermittently as well. Lots to look forward to!

Tumblr media
“Really? So no one else is going to say it?” Changkyun blurted through the silence, his arms firmly stacked across his chest. “Fine. Why the hell are we back in the Smugglers’ Den?”
Jooheon rolled his eyes. “After all these years, you’re still on that? It’s the Blueprint Room. Always has been, always will be. End of story.”
“I thought it was the Tigers’ Lair?” Minhyuk mused as he tapped his chin.
“We’re getting off topic,” Shownu redirected.
“Yeah, what was so important you woke me up at the crack of noon?” garbled Hyungwon through a long yawn.
Kihyun smirked as he took his seat at the end of the long table and steepled his fingers. He peered over his black-rimmed glasses at each of the members—a spectrum running through everything from confusion to worry to exhaustion.
“I would have thought that would be obvious. We have another job.”
As the rest of the team took Kihyun’s cue and settled in around the table, Minhyuk quirked an eyebrow. “I thought the last job was the last job?”
“Yeah. What happened to idol retirement?” asked Jooheon.
“Do I get to wear leather?” Wonho asked, and Minhyuk elbowed him. “What?”
“It’s simple, boys,” Kihyun continued. “I got a call. Someone high-powered, someone of impeccable taste. Someone who knows who we were and who we can still be. And he’s got a job. Sure, he’s offering a lot of money, but we all know that’s not what this is about—maybe in the beginning, but not for a long time.”
The men watched Kihyun’s every move, from the perceptive narrow of his eyes to the subtle tilt of his head. When the boss spoke, they listened—especially with Shownu propped coolly against the wall behind him.
“Last time, we promised you retirement,” Kihyun added with a nod back to his shadowy enforcer. “Since then, idol life’s been good to us. Never in one place long enough to get bored. New cities, new adventures—”
“New women,” offered Changkyun to a chorus of sighs.
Undeterred, Kihyun said, ��Point is, we’ve got everything we could want.”
“Yeah, so why are we back in the Plot Box?” Hyungwon said.
“Honestly, where do you get these horrible names?” Shownu grumbled, his hand rubbing his forehead.
Kihyun tilted his head just a touch. “We’re back because I know it’s not enough. For any of us. San Francisco taught us that.”
The room fell silent.
After a long moment, Minhyuk crossed his arms. “Fine, but I'm not going as Dior again.”
“Oh, come on,” prodded Jooheon, “you looked so cute in that skirt. And we can't put Hyungwon in it. It’s like a rubber band around his waist.”
“Ha ha,” deadpanned the string bean.
“Forget it,” Minhyuk insisted. “The last mark got too handsy and almost blew my cover. What about Hoseok? He's pretty.”
“Thank you,” Wonho beamed.
Changkyun rolled his eyes. “What about him? He's built like an Olympic shot-putter. Who's going to hit on that chick?”
Wonho shrugged. “If the skirt's leather—”
Changkyun and Jooheon dropped their heads on the table.
From his head seat, Kihyun smiled. He had known his team would agree to do the job—they had never turned one down—but he hadn't expected them to be so eager. He glanced over his shoulder to his muscular backup, and Shownu seemed to be waiting for him. “Just like old times.”
Shownu nodded. “Then you know what's coming.”
Trouble.
Kihyun didn't need to say it.
He smiled again before he circled the table and patted Minhyuk on the shoulder. “Don’t dust off your heels just yet, Dior. I have contractors on standby.”
Hyungwon took a long sip from his smoothie. “Outsiders?”
“An insurance policy,” Kihyun clarified. “The client’s, not mine.”
“Who’s the client?” asked Minhyuk.
Their leader shrugged one shoulder. “I don’t know. I only spoke with an emissary.”
Jooheon threw both hands in the air. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why in the hell would we work for somebody we don’t even know? The guy could be a cop or a Dispatch journalist looking to break a huge story or, shit, even a kkangpae.”
Shownu glowered at them. “Do you honestly think we wouldn’t have ensured at least that much?”
Jooheon mumbled an apology, but worried dimples still etched his cheeks.
“It’s true,” Kihyun replied gently, “the client demands total anonymity for the job, but we know enough to protect ourselves and our livelihoods. This job is important to him, important enough that he’s sending two of his best people to assist.”
Wonho shook his head and sighed, wishing for the first time in a long time that he hadn’t conceded the leadership position to Kihyun and Shownu so easily. “I don’t know. This doesn’t sound like a good idea. For years, it’s just been us. We know everything about each other. The good, the bad, and the Minhyuk—”
“Hey, why are you looking at me!” the visual shouted.
“—but we don’t know anything about these outsiders or the man they work for? They could be here to spy on us, expose us, or worse.”
“What’s worse?” Hyungwon asked.
“No.Mercy,” Jooheon whispered softly, and everyone’s heads hung for a long moment of silence.
Though they had always known exactly what the outcome of the survival show would be, in the end, their hardest task had been fighting to keep the hopefuls out of their hearts as they made their way ruthlessly to victory. It had been pointless. Their competition turned out to be a bunch of talented, soft-hearted kids who, in spite of their every effort to compartmentalize, became family. Each elimination was a cut to the chest, and it was the first time the clan had learned that the price of success was also crushing loss.
Kihyun cleared his throat softly, and the boys knew it was safe to show their faces again.
“This time is different. There won’t be time for anything other than the job. Besides, Hyunwoo vetted our new comrades personally.”
“Thoroughly,” their stalwart hyung added.
If Shownu said it, there was hardly a surer guarantee. The furrowed brows eased but the frowns remained.
“Now, now, boys, they're not here for profit or to get in our way. Besides, we're going to need every hand on deck for this job.”
“Since when do we need help completing a job?” Changkyun groused.
Kihyun tapped a few buttons on his phone before their smart table blazed to life beneath them with an aerial shot of a stadium aglow with the fireflies of light sticks. Screams and chants resonated off the cold steel rafters of their lair and vibrated in their chests.
Monsta X! Monsta X!
With a smile, he said, “Aren’t you forgetting something? We’re famous now. That’ll get us in most doors, but it also means that all eyes will be on us all the time. It nearly cost us the San Francisco job.”
“Even monkeys fall from trees. We got the diamonds, didn't we?” Changkyun retorted.
“Yeah,” Hyungwon seconded, “the bathroom cover worked okay.”
“‘Okay?’ Now the whole world thinks Hyunwoo has tummy troubles,” snickered Wonho. From the other end of the table, their hyung glowered and the smile disappeared from everyone’s faces. More soberly, Wonho added, “Kihyun’s right. The waitress knew who we were, and she blogged the whole thing to the second.”
“My point, boys, is that we're getting sloppy,” Kihyun clarified as he stopped their performance video and pushed back from his seat. “We all know San Fran was a training exercise. A couple of two-bit, newbie blood diamond smugglers? That should have been a two-thirty-flat job from get-in to getaway. Instead, it took an entire lunch, a messy cover-up fan photoshoot, and, at best, we got away with barely enough to feed that village for a month.”
As the boys wallowed once again in their lackluster final heist, their leader circled the table, his fingers tracing the back of his teammates' chairs. “Remember when we first met? Remember everything we had to go through to get here? No one would say it wasn't worth it. And I don't know about you guys, but as much as I love being Monsta X, I miss when we were just The Tribe, when the only things that mattered were our freedom and our brotherhood.”
They had been together so long, suffered every trial and tribulation so united, that their memories synchronized into the same zoetrope of dark alleys lit by fires, car chases through downpours, and celebrations drowned in a gallon of soju. It was a beautiful, muddled mess, just like their time together.
Wonho tipped back in his chair, an easy smile on his face as he watched Kihyun. “So, what's the job, boss?”
“Just about the only thing that can convince you guys to leave retirement again: a real challenge. Damn near impossible, if I’m being realistic.”
Hyungwon raised his eyebrows. “Isn't that what you said about No.Mercy? And we know how that turned out.”
Kihyun shook his head. “Diamond heists, yacht theft, rigging a national broadcast? Consider those an audition. We'll need everything we’ve learned and more for this con.”
“No.Mercy was child's play?” Jooheon said, wounded.
Kihyun squeezed his friend’s shoulders reassuringly. “Of course not. It was carefully orchestrated and flawlessly executed by all of you, but that plan was over a year in the making. For this job, we have one month.”
“Twenty-eight days to be exact,” Shownu amended. The group waited, and when no explanation came from their leader, Shownu added, “An art heist.”
Hyungwon sagged down onto the table, his eyes drifting shut. “You woke me up to steal a painting? We stole a three billion-won yacht. Isn’t this a little below our pay grade?”
“We don’t get paid anything for these stunts,” Changkyun said as he rapped a knuckle on his neighbor’s head.
“Since when is it about the price tag?” Wonho continued to scold, and Hyungwon hid his pout behind another sip of his drink. “We’ve only ever done this for two reasons—”
“Justice and righteousness,” Minhyuk answered with a proud beam and a V for victory, and Jooheon couldn’t resist pinching the apple of his friend’s cheek.
“Maybe three,” added Changkyun. “An adrenaline rush.”
The group shared a smirk. No arguments there.
“Okay, but even if it sounds like fun, you know we’re on the verge of another comeback, and you want us to do more work?”
“Forgive our turtle, boss,” Minhyuk soothed. “You know how he gets when you wake him up from a nap.”
Kihyun paid it no mind—he was in too good of a mood. Despite Hyungwon’s lazy attempts at opposition, Kihyun knew his boys still kindled the same spark they had since childhood; he just needed a little more accelerant.
He brought up another video on the table, this time of their set at the San Francisco Jingleball. A smirk buoyed his cheek as he felt their pulse-pounding race to the arena anew, all of them still wearing their heist clothes. Wonho hadn’t even bothered to change his gloves, and cheeky Minhyuk had flaunted their haul with a stolen diamond in his ear.
He let their first song play at full volume, but instead of watching their performance, he watched his team. Smiles, wide eyes, slow nods. It was all coming together. He lowered the volume before the second song took over and said, “Remember this? If you could describe it in one word, what word would you pick?”
“Fire,” Jooheon answered immediately.
“Exactly!” Kihyun trumpeted with an emphatic slap of his palms against the table. “That job was just what we needed to re-energize ourselves. It didn’t matter that we were physically and emotionally drained. It didn’t matter that we were nine thousand kilometers from home. We were on fire again.”
“Yeah, but we're not just talking some one-day sugar rush,” Wonho said. “You're talking about full-blown months of planning.”
“Twenty-eight days,” Shownu reminded again.
“Fine, 28 days, right before a comeback.”
“Exactly,” Kihyun said again, this time with the perfect tinge of an impending epiphany. “A job like this could change everything for us. I know how hard you’ve all been working to make this our greatest comeback ever, but we’re at our best when we’re smashing through our limits. I need you all to remember that over the next few minutes.”
Wonho narrowed his eyes. “I take it our limits are about to be tested?”
“The clock moves whether or not you’re ready for it,” Shownu added rather darkly.
“I’m always ready!” said Minhyuk with a fist raised. “Hwaiting!”
Shownu’s phone buzzed, and all heads shot to him while Kihyun smiled at his team. “Good.”
“I don’t like this,” Jooheon muttered.
Kihyun pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and leveled his eyes at the door. “If it makes you feel any better, I haven’t met them either.”
“That makes me feel way worse!”
Shownu paused the video on the table and headed up the stairs to the landing. With a stern look back at his boys, he warned, “Be on your best behavior. Our guests are here.”

p l e a s e talk about your wlw star wars oc's!!!!
[explodes] THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME PERMISSION--
first of all, a playlist for them, and secondly, my wlw oc's:
moyra, my jedi gal who takes a while to warm up to anyone. she's currently co-parenting an enby kid with her childhood friend, and she's very reluctant about it. she fully trusted like,,,one (1) person in the whole world, and oops, that person's dead now so where does that leave her? which leads us to...
althea, our suave, cool pilot who speaks with a southern accent (...gffa georgia, usa?). our classic flirt who drops "ma'am"s and "darlin'"s like it's no biggie. somehow, she and moyra keep running into each other.
tropes i have with them:
clammed up rule follower with the morally ambiguous flirt
f a ke m a r r ia ge (listen.......listen, it was for survival reasons)
"we've got to stop meeting like this" (x1000)
aonani, said jedi gal who co-parents with moyra. the sweeter one who def. balances out all of moyra's salt. but also can swing between "childish goofball" to "oh you're a little frightening actually" in the span of .2 seconds. winds up getting into all kinds of accidents because of this, which leads us to...
heka, healer who's like this close to throwing something at aonani because just one! can we go one! stupid! week! without! a! minor! emergency!!!! (aonani, weakly: no...?) anxiety is her middle name, but she does weirdly well in a crisis tho. aonani once found her clambering on top of one of the beds because one crept in.(a spider)
tropes i have with them:
height difference (duh)
def. idiots (pining) to idiots (lovers)
"do i actually like you or have i watched way too many holo-dramas because yes, jedi absolutely watch trash holo-dramas"
aaaaaand that's that!!! i'm still trying to figure out their endings (and mostly thinking about the whole attachment rule too because of course jedi are allowed to love + fall in love + etc., but idk. i'm just having fun here adsfadsf)
